A second basket has 6 spas--- I think you mean 6 soaps , so i will work with that
Answer:it is not possible to determine the price of the soap with the information given.
Explanation:
Let s0ap be represented as x
and lotion be represented as y
2 soaps and 5 lotions costing $20 gives us equation 1 as
2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1
second basket with 6 soaps and 15 lotions and costing $60 gives us equation 2 as
6x + 15y= 60------equation 2
Step 2 -- Solving
2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1
6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2
BY elimination method, we multiply equation 1 by (3)
2x + 5y= 20 x (3)
6x + 15y=60-------equation 3
Subtraction of equation 3 from equation 2 gives us
6x + 15y=60-------equation 3
-6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2
0x +0y=0 which is no solution
Therefore it is not possible to determine the price of the soap
